The problem as far as I can tell is that new construction vastly outpaced rental demand. 

Always think it is extremely important to note that Cap Rate does not drive value on Single Family Rentals since NOI is not the factor for the vast majority of the market - only really relevant for Multifamily and Commercial (BP audience is generally skewed towards residential not commercial investing)

I’m sure others have enough knowledge to go it alone although they’d have more liability that way as lawyers and probably aren’t covered like we are with E&O on their own personal transactions, so maybe not… The vast differences between states and like you said even in different areas within individual states is super interesting and a big part of why I don’t see the role of agents going away personally.

Unfortunately, the vast of them have houses and other buildings or improvements on them so I can't compare the public records. 

Common area kitchen, game room, library, and living room.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

If you choose to work with an attorney for your 1031 whose experience is limited to a few 1031s a year (even though they may have a vast real estate background) you'll likely not get the economies of scale and a competitive price for your 1031.
